高中英语单词表(2014年全英英解释版)

一：作者对于本英英词汇表的说明：

A、和网络上有非常多的高中英语及高考词汇资源，但都是以中文解释的。本词汇表全部引用Longman英英词典对单词的解释，非常有助于学生、家长或者教师查询（可以不用查询英英词典，一本朗文英英词典真重！）；

B、采用英英对单词的解释的意义或者作用这里就不用多说，只讲一点：如果将高中生送到英美留学，他接触不到中英词典，只会找到英英词典，也只会找到英英解释； C、可能最开始时，还不能用英英解释的方式去理解，但这的确是方向；

D、希望本文作者原创的这份资源对高中生能够学会英语思维、在英语学习之路的过程中有一定的帮助！

E、本词汇表采用alphabet的排序方式 （从A-Z）。

F、由于文档的篇幅所限（太长不好上传），本词汇表仅有A部分，其余的部分是分开的。

G、以上单词均有美式和英式原版发音。若需要，请联系2487452826@qq.com。

二：作者对于高中英语及高考学习的建议：

经过小学初中六年以上的时间学习英语，广大高中生一定有很多心得，但可能在口语有听力方面还需要有比较大的提高。

还有，自己在学英文时，自己的母语---中文始终扮演着中介和桥梁的作用，也就是借助中文去理解英文 。但在学习一门外语时，自己的母语对外语学习的最大障碍，在中国尤其严重，因为东方文化和东西文化基本是冲突的。

但英语，我们却一定要学，而且要花的时间少，效率高，学的好。为了这个简单的目标，以下是在高中生学习英语的基本建议（仅仅是作者给出的建议，如认可，可以参考）： A、学到一个单词，想到一张图片或场景，也就是将单词放“翻译”图片，直接将单词和图片关联，减少母语的影响，对快速形成英语思维，提高兴趣有非常大的帮助； 这个一个典型的 例子：

B、关于单词的发音。即使学会了英文音标，也可能不能够正确的读出某个单词的发音，更有可能连英文教师的读音也不一定准确。所以在开始时，尽可以听原版的英文单词发音。

C、我们已经学会了大概1000-2000个左右的基础词汇（也可以称为定义词汇），我们已经比较熟悉。如果再学新的词汇，努力用这些词汇去解释新的单词，也就是用常用的英语去理解新的词汇，这样做有非常多的好处。

D、到这个阶段，你学英语的方式应该是享受英语给你不来的乐趣，而不是还是花费大量时间去当做任务来做。
